According to Sepehr Energy Holding, Behrouz Abbasi added: "By exploiting the Sabalan Petrochemical project, direct employment for 300 people will be provided."

He continued: "Sabalan Project, as one of the plans designated for the second leap of Iran's petrochemical industry, is ready to be exploited despite the fact that it faced many problems after the imposition of oppressive sanctions on the country; fortunately, with planning and tapping the capabilities of local engineers and manufacturers, not only the project did not stop, but also the catalysts required for this petrochemical plant were supplied locally for the first time.”

Sabalan, Dena and Siraf petrochemical plants are subsidiaries of Sepehr Energy Holding and are expected to enhance Iran's methanol production capacity by 5 million tons after full operation.
